Thanks ezzy, haven't been much into anime for awhile and might pick up some of them. Do you have any hate filled reviews or do you just stop watching them at that point and dismiss them?

Generally, I use the standard "three episode test", and if I'm not liking the series after that, I drop it. There are a few shows that have gotten past the test to become horrible later (Naruto, Bleach, Eureka 7 OH GOD ERIEMS WHY DID YOU MAKE ME WATCH THAT), but I'm lazy enough that I hardly review things that I like, which makes it doubtful that I'll ever review things I do not. Unless I get paid for it, I guess.

Claymore

I've been watching this as well. Not too deep, but the combat is satisfyingly gushy.

I do find it amusing that the Claymores are looked on with such revulsion, despite all being essentially really hot blonde chicks in skin-tight white outfits. I was practically relieved when that group of bandits tried to rape one, as I thought they would go the whole show without anyone pointing that out.

I'll probably check out the other shows you mentioned too, although as for Kaze no Stigma I'm pretty sure my shonen-quotient is being fulfilled by Naruto: Shippuden (*Shut up*, I started watching the first series when I was sick in bed, and before I knew it had gone through all the non-filler episodes...)

Cousin-lovin' isn't really frowned upon in Japan, is it? I believe the risk of genetic anomalies is fairly low, although if you've grown up with them it does seem a bit odd :P

Ah, thanks I had heard that was coming and promptly forgot about it. I usually like Production I.G.'s stuff (except Blood+ which bored both me, and as far as I could tell the people working on it, to tears) so I was meaning to give it a look.

[spoiler]I've only read the series, but from what I remember there are several parts where that happens. One is with Clare in Holy Rabona, another with Teresa and the bandits, etc.

To be honest, I liked Clare's outfit when she was disguised as a wandering knight the best. The seven-year-later outfit isn't so bad either I suppose, but the regular Claymore uniform looks incredibly goofy. Especially the World of Warcraft pauldrons.[/spoiler]
